There are no individuals being referred to here; rather it is an impassioned warrant drawn towards the enitre artistic community. I do not question the motives of anyone. But rather, question ourselves as a whole with regard to our abilities to come together in a non competitive nature to extend the art and craft of poetry, To be united means, (to me at least) that more can be achieved, and thus the art be elevated to a more respected position in Mainstream America. Again, thank you Tim for your kind regards. Thank you Tim for reading and your kind regards.

Or an observation. Just coming to it from the outside as a reader, I get the sense that something coded is being conveyed, some inside information that the author wishes to keep shadowed. As a reader, I'm curious to know specifics. Otherwise, I feel that I'm drifting a bit in editorial space. Who are these enclaves that are not cohering into a larger connected community? Who is setting borders? What is their agenda, in particular, as perceived by you? Who is desirous of promoting the one or a few over the many? Who is questioning your motives and disparaging you? From my perspective, this "coding" makes an outside reader of this editorial feel exceptionally outside. I think names should be named, in a fearless appeal for the change you wish to champion. Don't hold back. Having read this impassioned, inspiring article, I do have a question. Or an observation.
